Storm Brendan

Continued to work on the instrument panel today.  I have used the navigation table to make up a panel to fit alongside the electrical switch panel.  It took a while to get the right shape and then do all the marking out prior to cutting out the apertures.  I'm not particularly good with the router, but it's all practice.

One slot done, and I had hoped to finish the panel this evening, but then Storm Brendan made its presence felt.  Thankfully not to our boat, but a temporary shelter being used for storage took flight and threatened to take a trip up the river.  So I put down my tools and helped recover the debris in the growing dark.  It serves as a reminder that nature really is in charge, particularly in the marine environment.

Both breast hooks are now fitted which means that I can start to relay the deck planks.  Work on the instrument panel can be put to one side for now as the priority has to be getting the boat watertight.  Lots of screws to fit.
